What is stored on the device
The app keeps a local copy of the room. That includes the name you choose, the companion, stars, coins, bond, task history, feelings notes, voice notes, gallery memories and photos, shop purchases recorded in the app, reminders, and settings.
Photos and voice notes are saved in the app’s private storage on the device. They are used only to show the memory or play the note you made.
Sign in with Apple
Opening the room starts with Sign in with Apple. Apple gives the app a user identifier. The first time, Apple may also share the name on the Apple Account. Sowelf stores that identifier and the name you confirm on this device. Sowelf does not receive your Apple Account password, and it does not send the identifier to a Sowelf server.
Logging out clears the sign-in on this device. The room itself stays until you delete it.
Purchases
Coins are bought through Apple In-App Purchase. Apple handles the payment. Sowelf records the coins on this device. Sowelf does not receive your card number.
Permissions
- Camera, when you take a photo for a gallery memory.
- Photo library, when you choose a photo for a gallery memory.
- Microphone, when you record a voice note on the Feelings page.
- Notifications, when you turn on the evening reminder.
Each permission is used only for that action. You can turn them off in iOS Settings.
What Sowelf does not do
Sowelf does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites. It does not show ads. It does not ask for App Tracking Transparency because it does not track. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care.
Deleting data
Settings can clear feelings, clear the gallery, or delete all data on this device. Delete all data removes the local room, including notes, photos, and voice notes stored by the app, and opens Sowelf as a first visit. Deleting the app also removes that local copy.
Children
Sowelf is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date below will change and the new page will replace this one.
